ABSTRACT:
A wiring head (10) mounted for movement along coordinates (X, Y and Z) to insert electrical terminal (T) into selected cavities of electrical connector housings (CH), comprises rolls (38) for feeding a wire (W) in a wire feed direction (D) from a wire reel (20), a wire inserter (24) for inserting the wire (W) so fed, into a terminal (T) at a wire insertion station (54) and a terminal inserter (62, 63) for then inserting the terminal (T) into its cavity. Slides (32 and 34) are moveable towards each other to form a loop (L) in the wire (W), to be inserted into the terminal by the inserter (24), and wire severing blades (58 and 60) are also provided for severing either side of the loop (L), when required according to a wiring program, before a terminal (T) is inserted into its cavity. The inserted terminals (T) are thereby connected in daisy chain fashion, one side of the loop (L) being severed in the case of the end terminals (T) of the chain.
